One reason Protestants seem to dislike Catholicism is because the Catholic Church allowed some of the religions they conqured to add a few of their traditions to the Church so they could retain a semblance of cultural identity. What would Protestants have done differently? Would you have done what Protestant Quakers did to the Native Americans? Kill most of them, criminalize every aspect of their religions, and force them onto reservations? Or would you have been completely benevolent and never left the borders of Judea? Is Manifest Destiny a product of Sola Scriptura?

The modern world preaches, "do what makes you happy".
This is the complete opposite of the teachings of Christ and His Church. The real emphasis should be, "do what makes you holy". We are to do the will of God and strive for holiness. A lot of times, doing the will of God is not easy because of the crosses God puts in our way....

A lot of times, doing the will of God is not easy because of the crosses God puts in our way. Though the only way to holiness is to suffer with Christ.
The will of God is much more important than "doing what makes you happy".

Fireball had this to say of her second husband, almost as though she was proud of it:
"U FORGOT he left another woman for me...she was too boring for him."
But when I said (correctly) that she broke up someone's marriage, she had this to say:
"HE WAS BORED OF HER LONG BEFORE HE MET ME."
So to recap, she divorced a guy who...

But when I said (correctly) that she broke up someone's marriage, she had this to say:
"HE WAS BORED OF HER LONG BEFORE HE MET ME."
So to recap, she divorced a guy who couldn't get it up, started committing adultery with a married man, who then got divorced in order to marry her.
How many sins is she going to rack up?

Augustine answered this 1000 years ago
Augustine creates a fixed principle of Biblical exegesis. It is possible, he says, to see many truths in the revealed text, but it is not possible to assert exactly which one the sacred author had in mind. The Holy Spirit leads us into all truth, and obviously knows every aspect of the truth contained in the text. Therefore, even after the most rigorous textual analysis, one reader sees one meaning while another reader captures a different meaning. But no reader, however great his expertise, can assert that: “The sacred author had my meaning in mind; he agrees with me. My interpretation is therefore the sole and definitive meaning of the text.”

Science is figuring out what things are, what they're made of, etc. but God made all of these things that science is trying to figure out. So, why do non-believers say that science proves He's not real?
